Colliers International provides commercial property sale and commercial property lease services, property research industry data, investment property advice, property valuation and property management services to clients across Australia.
Hunter Advantage, a new initiative to promote Newcastle and the Hunter Valley to the rest of Australia, was launched last week. The concept is headed by a consortium of prominent local business identities and will involve a national medi and online campaign aimed at bringing more business to the region.
Here’s the Herald’s announcement:
THE Hunter is set to go head-to-head with major growth regions like south-eastern Queensland to market itself as an economic powerhouse.
A new venture with private sector backing will be launched in Newcastle on Friday to send the message that the Hunter is open for business.
Called Hunter Advantage, the marketing project will combine a national advertising campaign with an internet site to build a strong case for business and industry to invest in or relocate to the Hunter and stimulate growth.
Hunter Valley and Gunnedah based credit union Companion is showing their support for the community with the Companion Community Grants Scheme.
Companion have $20,000 available to be donated to the local community and are asking for members and the community for suggestions.
If you know of a not for profit club, group or charity, that could use a helping hand, why not nominate them to share in the grant scheme? Applications are open from 15 April to 15 May and nomination forms can be found here or you can pick one up at your local Companion branch.
This is Companion’s way of saying ‘Thank You’ to their members and the local communities serviced by their branches, and as a member you have a say in who gets the funds by getting involved.
So if you know of a sporting club, charitable organisation or community group that could use some extra funds, let Companion know.
One of the most famous phrases on the planet might be given a little Rock n Roll makeover when McDonalds makes their debut on the big stage. But rather than having employees don the big hair and makeup themselves the folks at King St McDonalds, Newcastle have decided to contribute to the city’s Rock and Roll pedigree and support the next generation of Rock and Roll talent.
With multi-platinum selling bands such as Silverchair and The Screaming Jets born and bred in the city it makes sense that that an organisation that prides itself on “giving back to the community that supports it” does so in the most appropriate manner. Read the rest of this entry »
Q. What do a Neo Fauvist artist and a Rockstar have in common ?
A. The Archibald Prize
No, this is not some attempt at highbrow humour but the latest project for Hunter Valley based artist Peter Sesselmann. The Archibald Prize is regarded as the most important portraiture prize and is the most prominent of all arts prizes in Australia. The Archibald is unique in that the subject should be considered to be someone “distinguished in art, science or politics”. So what subject would be best to compliment an artist such as Peter who is known for his loud vivid colourful style ?
